In that standard medical world further workup equates to what the stress test and again
a third of positive stress tests are wrong or false positives
and what happens if you've got a false positive just like a true positive you go to the cath lab
what happens in the cath lab it's PC which stands for percutaneous or through the skin or invasive
angiography you get a needle that's stuck into the groin the catheter is fed up to the heart and then
we start using dye and taking pictures as you see there's a little bit of plaque there some there
so these pictures start to look very definitive don't they yep but that quote definitive look
can be very deceptive we think we see plaque you ever heard the question if you're a hammer
everything looks like a nail you know how to do a stent that really looks like a place
that needs a stent right again when you start following these people on a long term basis and
you randomize it and you put a stent in some of these people and you don't put a stent in others
no difference in heart attack how about a little bit of history the first angiogram was done by a
fellow named Mason Sones I think it was the Mayo Clinic could have been Cleveland it was in 1958
and it was an accident it was a mistake he was doing pediatric aortograms you know the aortas
and he was looking at connective tissue diseases and whether kids had problems with their aorta
he went a little bit too high catheter dye into the arteries for the heart which come off at the
very beginning of the aorta inside the aortic valve leaves in fact well patient's heart stopped
and these are kids again you would think a bad day for the patient and a bad day for the doc
but the doc was just very excited they were able to do some things and get the heart back so the
patient really didn't know that much different and here's what happened you saw these amazing images
and that again you get back to that thing of deceptive exciting images deceptive definitive
images so they saw that and that led to this whole it's an industry now getting these types of images
doing PC angiograms the cath labs if we were to take cath labs and stents back to where they've
been proven we would wipe out a huge section of the medical industrial complex it would disemploy
tens of thousands of cardiologists enclose thousands of cardiology clinics and even hospitals
so these appear definitive but definitive nature is deceptive these require visit to the cath lab
there's significant irradiation you know you think there's radiation with a chest X-ray or
a calcium score these have huge radiation and what exactly do they really tell us and what I mean by
that is what action comes from this whether or not to do a stent or a bypass and again
do those really appear to work so all of this is based on an assumption that
a plaque is quote vulnerable end quote a specific individual plaque now what we have what the
science would actually indicate is that plaque is more of a systemic issue and whether or not you're
laying down plaque is more of a systemic activity in other words you have inflammation inflammation
doesn't happen in just one area of one artery it happens the entire arterial bed at once
and you both of you probably already know by far the number one cause of cardiovascular
inflammation or vulnerable plaques is prediabetes that prediabetes is usually driven by aging
insulin resistance and that's why we've always thought you know what you get to your 60s and
you might have a heart attack there's no way to predict now we know yes there are ways to predict
so I'd like to talk with you a minute about the webinar people don't understand what the webinar
is it's actually a great way to get some access to health care that you're just not going to
get any other way you actually get the lab tests yourself for at a local lab a Quest lab near you
for the inflammation panel and the OGTT and the insulin survey these are things inflammation and
prediabetes that your doctor just does not know about and here's the thing Harvard Health and many
others have said look sudden death is not always so sudden the Hollywood picture that it's a bolt
out of the blue is not realistic it's more like real lightning preceded by clouds wind and rain
stop that metabolic storm before the lightning strikes and here's where that metabolic storm
comes from it's inflammation and it has to do usually with prediabetes so again we actually
get labs we go over them in the webinar and then you can start finding out how you can
prevent that heart attack others said that you couldn't even predict we can show you how thanks
